the project lead's width rule applied to the ceilings alone (the measured v3 rates will replace this when the table lands): a 128-load hash at 64 B reads 8,192 B; at the 5090's 64 B ceiling that is 71 MH/s and 584 GB/s, 37% of its stream bandwidth, over the one-third margin the rule sets; at 16 B it is 2,048 B per hash, 141 MH/s and 288 GB/s, 18%, inside the margin; 4 B is 9%. On the 9070 XT every width costs the same line fetch (2.4 G/s), so 16 B is where AMD gains 4x the bytes per hash at no cost and the 5090 stays latency-bound with margin. Provisional width under the rule: 16 B (w16), pending the measured rates and the latency-bound share per card.
Added deliverable (20:40): the public description in four levels, `docs/plans/counter-asic-2-public.md` (aec53bb): levels 1 and 2 are written as copy; level 3 carries the bench table with `[owed]` markers for every number not yet measured; level 4 lists the documents. The integration branch applies levels 1 to 3 to `site/index.html`, `site/litepaper.html` and `site/bench.html` with the final numbers.
